Description: In Pilot Study 1, we used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to design the Geneva Sentimentality Scale (GSS). The full structure (three factors) of the GSS can be found in Appendix A. In the present study, our aim was threefold: 1) Confirm the structure of the GSS using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. 2) Evaluate the criterion validity of the GSS by having participants rate their emotional reactions to three videos selected for their potential to elicit feelings of being moved, and see whether the GSS actually predicts participants’ feelings of being moved when watching these videos. 3) Proceed to a first test of our hypothesis by investigating correlations between participants’ scores on the GSS and their tendency to rate profound-sounding statement as ‘deep’.
